Katrin Köppert: Digital Blackface, memetischer Faschismus und Geschlecht

Lecture series Art – Research – Gender

Katrin Köppert on the relationship between digital blackface and gender in the memetic media culture of digital fascism.

Anti-gender and digital authoritarianism
In the academic year 2025/26, the lecture series looks at anti-gender politics and policies in art, culture and society in the digital realm. The series asks how reactionary actors dismantle concepts of equality, justice, and sexual/reproductive rights, especially in and through digital media. Furthermore, it wants to highlight artistic practices and societal alliances that disrupt these media narratives, and generate counter-narratives to the anti-liberal, authoritarian, discriminatory, racist and extremist ideologies.

Registration
The lectures are publicly accessible to all interested parties. Students can take the lecture series as a course via online registration (base)
Register until October 20, 2025.
